I came here the first time for a quick takeaway when I was at the bar next door for the songwriting circle’s event. Service: The staff had like 10 takeaway paper bags waiting for them to put in the food from the kitchen, and yet they were still extremely friendly and attentive to my inquiries. Lovely! Food: I had the chicken chettinad + plain naan for the first visit, just to play it safe in case their naan went wrong. Omg the naan, even as a takeaway, was incredible! Thick, firm, chewy, and flavorful. The curry was good too. I came back today all the way from Drumcondra, just to have their curry and naan. Tried their Keralan Coconut Curry + Garlic & Coriander Naan this time - absolutely amazing! I liked Keralan Coconut Curry better than chicken chettinad, and loved the naan from both times! Space: There are 4 tables for four on the ground level. The pics attached are from the 1st floor, which offer a few tables for two (or one). I went there the 2nd time when it was almost 9pm, and it was fairly quiet.

TLDR; very nice Indian restaurant, great staff and good price point We went there on a Friday evening with friends and we were really pleased both by the place and the meal. The service was great, very polite and caring for the table. Especially as there was a big event next to us and they served our table first. The rice and chicken portions are adequate, just the right size. We would really recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a nice Indian experience in a laid back atmosphere.

Such great food! Best meal we had in Dublin. Vegan and gluten-free options 👍

The food is decent but a little expensive. My review is specifically for a staff member. I called them up to place order while I was on my home from work on a windy evening. I ordered "Saag Paneer". The gentleman on the call kept saying he couldn't hear "P.." So I kept repeating my order. He then hung up the phone, I assumed it got disconnected and called again and this time he was able to take the order. When I went there to collect it , I asked him what was it that he was not able to hear. He said he couldn't hear "Please" and it was very rude. Is he there to server customers of restaurant or is he running soft skills classes ? He has no idea of what's going on in people's life and wants to poke his nose everywhere. P.S. All other staff members I have interacted with have been very warm. I wish I knew the name of this gentleman so that I could put it here.

I could be critical here coz I have my origins in Kerala and my expectation of the dishes were high. Good ambiance, nice staff, and decent dishes, some stuff inspired from Kerala in terms of food, but that’s that. A decent Indian cuisine place.

i had been to Kerala kitchen many times. The taste was awesome one year before.Recently i had tried few times with in last 6 months authentic indian taste is missing in all curries.

Food was delicious. Just remember that restaurant has a minimum order per person of 20 Euro including kids for dine in

This used to be one of my favourite Indian restaurants, as I have always appreciated their sauces made from scratch. But last night we ordered from them and you could taste how old the chicken was. You cannot think that the spices will cover the bad taste of a chicken that is not freshly cooked. The coconut sauce was pale and watery. We were very disappointed because we try to support those activities that are obliged to stay closed for the actual pandemic, but if this is what you have in return...and at a price that is not cheap...

Dinner at Kerala kitchen was a good experience. The food was delicious and fresh. The poppadoms were a bit dry however. Everything else was tasty; the rice was aromatic and the naan was fluffy. The ambiance was rustic but lacked atmosphere, such as fitting music. Overall, nice experience, unique location and delicious food!

Great Indian food for group and couples. I really enjoy there sitting near the window, it was really romantic. The food was really taste and fresh. Waiters are really nice and welcoming people. I won't give it the 5th star, as it is considered expensive compared to other Indian foods.

Busy takeaway downstairs. Excellent curries in the restaurant upstairs. Recommend the veggie options esp. the aubergine (even for a meat eater)

The place is good,decent price point,friendly staff and lively ambience. If you are missing Indian food in Dublin,this is the place to go. There is less kerala and more North Indian on the menu. Don't go by the name of the place. I've tried channa rice and beg biryani here,both were awesome. Not to forget the masala Chai they serve, so very Indian! It is rather hard to get a table here,weekends all the more difficult. So to avoid disappointment,please pre book a table. The staff is very friendly,they also customize the spice leave and that was such a welcome when I was missing Indian food. Try the place of you are a veg and particular about Indian food once in a while!

Had a flavourful dinner here. Most items were well prepared with the right balance of spices. We requested a slight tweak to one of the ordered item and it was considered by the Chef. Booked a table over phone and they were quite flexible with the timings. The place could be slightly cramped if full. Overall service was good. The only thing that I couldn't digest was naming it Ambur Biryani while it was no way close to reality. As someone who has relished authentic Ambur, Arcot Biriyani since very long found it unacceptable, they could have simply named it Biriyani.

I love it.... excellent food and amazing employees. Congratulations ❤ Best Indian in Dublin!!!!

Best lamb briyani I have ever had!

Best Indian food I've ever ordered in Ireland! Was lucky to try loads of different options as my workplace let us order from Kerala a lot over the last few months. Not only that but the staff are so lovely. A special thank you to the very kind Lewis!

Gorgeous food, fantastic staff and lovely view. Great looking place too. Will go back

This place has really good food, but the prices keep increasing every few months! You can see in my photo that this is the only place that charges for poppadoms and dips! So commercial!

I ordered Ambur chicken biryani which, was worst and definitely can't name ofter any rice which we eat in India. Chunk of hard boiled chicken pieces and tasteless rice and spice combination. Being an Indian can definitely call that it is a Shame on Indian cousin. Ordered gunpowder aloo chat which was another shame to indian cousin. Ordered chicken65 and got rubbery chicken fry. Ordered mango lassi and got the worst lassi ever. raw mango or God knows only what was added. Hated the food and hate how another Indian can bring shame to indian cousin. I wish the management reads out my review and go back and think about indian cousin before trying to sell some rubbish no the name of Indian/Kerala food. I wish the management of Kerala kitchen will get a chance to taste real Indian food before they put up in their menu

Delicious food and lovely staff !!!

Could be better

Authentic spicy biryani with the juiciest lamb. Awesome ambience.

Over Priced and Over Rated.... I ordered a take away and to be honest I had a shock at how small the portions are compared to the price I had to pay. God knows how small are childrens meals. I've payed for a pulao rice and got boiled rice had to go back to get what I've paid for and all I got was a quiet sorry. The taste was different. I only like one dish and I always order the same dish in any Indian restaurant, but this was way different. Naaahhhh not for me ...I'll stick with my usual, Namaste in Smithfield.

Big chunks of chicken. Pretty good briyani.

Best Indian takeaway in Dublin. Easy to see why there are a queue of people outside every time I visit. Seevice is always prompt and food delicious.

Good food

Great place, have ordered several times (always and only the vegetarian dishes) and never got wrong.

The best Indian restaurant in Dublin

Had such a nice New Year’s Eve dinner—true that there was a big mix up with the delivery and we had to pick it up from the restaurant instead, BUT the food was kept fresh and warm and soooo tasty and well made. And it’s also understandable that mistakes can happen especially on a busy night like New Year’s Eve. Bottom line is the food is amazing, highly recommended!!

I Recently visited the newly opened kerala kitchen in stoney batter Dublin and one can't help but feel the charm and authenticity of a lil piece of India in Dublin. From the aromas to the interior this restaurant really looks and feels the part. When it comes to the most important part - the food is really really tasty and great value for money. Great variety on the menu too. I usually went to the Baggot street but recently moved close to stoney batter and so I'm delighted. It's now my go to place to eat if I fancy a treat!!!!

Consistent, tasty, good ingredients and not cooked to excess. Can recommend all of the vegetarian mains but particularly the bean curry, paneer and dahl.

Very good Indian food but I find it overpriced. I would go or order for takeout more often if it was cheaper. Otherwise it is a great addition to the Stoneybatter neighbourhood!

We really enjoyed our meal. The starter was sensational: Bhel Puri, if you want to know. Friendly staff the only small thing we found was the lighting upstairs was kind of harsh. A simple matter to fix. Thanks for a lovely evening meal.

A lot of hype and it's good as well, a small place where you can go and have a nice time with your loved ones. The place is really small and the lighting can be worked on as well. All in all, a nice place with good food.

Briyani tasted good, paani puri was a steal 3 puris for 6 euros .. very expensive. Are the puris made of gold or what? One thing i didnt like was waiter pushed us to order more. He said two mains and one additional rice with two starters are not enough for two adults and 2 kids. It was a cheap marketing.

Had Lamb Ambur Biryani, which tastes good but got server gastric issues for the next two days. Please improve your food quality.

Lamb was nice, big tender chunks of meat. The Samosas were also delicious. Now we are onto the bad.. the chips were terrible, they were cold and some what reheated.. defo not fresh. The biryani was also a let down, its just rice! No vegetables or spice... just rice. The sauce that came with it wasn't great either.

Excellent curries at a good price.

Great spot, friendly staff, nice decor, one feels very welcomed. Food is very different to the typical Indian restaurants I usually ho, especially the starters. Can definitely recommend this place. They also have a stall at the food market, which serves 2 vegetarian and two chicken curries - and this is how I got to know this place. Colleague of mine is actually from Kerala and he mentioned that the food reminds him at home, as he can't get his childhood dishes in any other restaurants.

The food was good, no complaints there. But way too expensive for the quantity that’s served. Two minuscule samosas for €6.45? What’s that about? The main course isn’t served with rice or naan and there’s barely enough to count as a meal. Not ordering from here again solely due to the fact that their quantities are a rip-off.

They have very tasty indian food 😋 this is a must visit restaurant. Also they serve delicious thalis on Tuesday for approx 20 euros. Their thalis are must try 😀

For Indian food that's beyond your textbook Irish Indian shop, 5 stars. For a foreigner, don't hold out on the 2 stars off please, dine in or takeaway, credit to the chefs! The atmosphere of this place was great. And old house converted into a cozy intimate setting with all its creaks. The seating is a mix of benches and couple separate chairs and tables to seat 15-20 i think. They've got fixed menu with a special of the day. Also your typical drinks menu too. Cutlery and plates are that rustic steel which goes with the theme of the lighting and setting. Food portions were nice and you can either go with 1 bread and some rice or 3 breads for 2 for a decent meal if ordering dishes besides biryani. The food itself was yum! Healthy change to the typical korma, butter chicken, tikka masala copy paste shops out there. We had the black dal and goan chicken with the chicken biryani. Dal was closest to dal makhni, the goan, bursting with flavours and alive in your mouth and the biryani was reminiscent of a south Indian biryani (one off, differs from each region) Now, the cons of Kerala kitchen. I think this place took the name literally. As a keralite, the only thing Kerala was the kitchen staff maybe, the folks at reception and maybe 2-3 dishes. Kerala is a one part of South India. Indian cuisine is quite diverse and keralite food is dying of recognition in Ireland. Expecting some menus and decors or wait staff from kerala was a disappointment. I ran down from seating to chat in Malayalam (language in kerala) with the staff manning the phones to discuss kerala food and options rather than having a convo about it with the waiters and be thrilled with various menu options. What i thought was finally a representation of this cuisine of Indian food, away from the stereotypes was short lived and we settled for the goan dish, Indian dal and Tamil biryani. A quintessential for keralite menu is food like porotta, beef fry, appam, fish moilee, puttu.. something to excite the various wonderful flavours but we had to resort to the usual Indian (with a twist), a couple South Indian dishes with your guaranteed favourite North Indian cuisine. If you're in the mood for brilliant, delicious food and good atmosphere, Kerala kitchen is right up your alley with affordable prices too. If you want to experience the menu and immerse for an experience from God's own country a.k.a Kerala, humbly look elsewhere. Nonetheless, support such places for trying to keep up in this Irish economy. Much love, nanni! P.S. for inspiration on modern keralite food joints outside kerala, have a look at Kerala cafe chain in Vasai, India.

We didn't had the chance to reserve a table because the phone rang without response but we managed to get a table going directly there. The place is small but cozy, the ambience is interesting and with a good choice of music. There is a good variety of the menu. The food was good and at reasonable prices. I ordered a chicken tikka with plain naan, and they were tasty.

Overall nice Indian food joint in Dublin. We were happily surprised to have found this place. Food was well seasoned! Lassi mango was good. Masala Chai tea could have been better. We had bathi Tikka and nilgiri tika. Nan were delish. Server was a bit overwhelmed although not that busy but he was kind. I recommend.

Halal meat options . Authentic Kerala taste. Little bit on expensive side however was worth it. Good customer service . Shibil was polite and made us feel comfortable . I would recommend if anyone want authentic taste of Kerala

Had the Meen Manga, a fish curry, with brown rice and a beer. Like everything else in Dublin, not too spicy, but tasty. The 1980s / early 1980s American disco/pop music is awful.

Wanna try some good Indian food in Dublin? This is the right place. Loved their service. Very clean. Calm and neat ambience. Booking a table prior would be better. The food is yum. Loved everything on their menu.

My husband and I were visiting from New York and stumbled on Kerala Kitchen during our recent visit to Dublin. I don't usually write reviews but we enjoyed our meals there so much that I felt compelled to write this. The food at Kerala Kitchen was SENSATIONAL!! One of the BEST Indian meals we had! The complimentary poppadoms with mango chutney was lovely start to our evening and the sign of good things to come. The poppadoms was fresh, light and crispy. We highly recommend their onion bhajis, which was the BEST we've ever tasted, as it was crunchy and crispy and not stodgy. Their Kovalam chicken curry was to die for too! The chicken breast chunks were succulent and was cooked to perfection in their beautifully spiced coconut curry. The pilau rice was fluffy and generous in portion. The saag paneer was fresh and delicately spiced. The garlic and coriander naan had the perfect texture. It was not thick and heavy, but light, thin, soft and chewy but crispy around the edges, which we loved. All the staff were great! Very friendly service and we loved the rustic decor. We enjoyed it so much that we returned with the rest of our family who were visiting from Manchester, 2 nights later for our last evening meal together and it was faultless. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys authentic Southern Indian food with a warm and friendly atmosphere with a relaxed rustic and homey interior.

Friendly staff. Tasty but somewhat limited menu.

its okay. only advantage is its in city center and area like ballsbridge. But absolutely not value for money. Much better Indian food is Anando in Dundrum shopping center .

Great little spot, slightly off the beaten track but definitely worth a visit. Very different and delicious menu, at reasonable prices!

Delicious starters and Tuesday thali was great

For my first time visit at the Kerala Kitchen, I liked the food quality of Chole and rice. Papadoms alongside was an addon in the experience. Sitting on the window seat for having lunch for a single person gets a nice view of the busy streets.

Kerala is my go to for good quality amazing authentic food. Kept me going at all the music festivals iv been at always served with a smile and great value. So tasty. Also as a treat my husband picks up my fave take away. Wow even in this pandemic their spices & smiles keep serving us. Thank you Kerala

Lovely A1.

Great food. I recommend.

Ordering website is not secure, please move to https Edit: they fixed it. Just minus one star because sometimes, food is not as fresh as the others days (poppadoms and dips feel like they were from the day before). Other than that, great place

Indian street food style curries. Excellent food, nice location

Great Indian food, whether you take it home or eat in-house. One of my favourites. I like the rustic, informal setting upstairs in the lovely, characterful Georgian building too.

Good quality takeaway with a difference. Stayed open throughout lockdown

This restaurant serves Indian food. We tried the prawn beriyani, dhal and naan. Food is good. The dining area is a bit small located on the first floor. Can be very noisy.

Lovely food . Amazing service. Server was really great. Would highly recommend

Very relaxing place!Paneer saag is delicious. We also tried lamb pepper fry and lamb biryani. Very tasty and right spice!!

5 Stars ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ (Review based on Dine in experience) Just thinking of the place now has me hungry. I highly recommend coming here. Food is amazing. I love how they have designed the place. The folks who work here are always very friendly. I don't live or work around here so this is a place I make the extra effort to get to. One thing the rubs me up the wrong way about this place is that they insist on taking payment for your meal at the table. It drives me nuts. I'd love to give this a 3⭐⭐⭐ review because of it, but I don't want to discourage people from coming here because the food is really good.

Sadly disappointed by our lunch after reading all the good reviews here - we ordered the lamb and “chicken tikka” naan wraps and we were really underwhelmed. Just salad in naan bread with an overly sweet sauce. Meats had very little flavor or depth. The curry dishes other customers had looked a lot better.

I was so impressed by how lovely the food was here. My wife and I shared a number of small plates and the staff was accommodating of our toddler and his aversion to spice. Would highly recommend.

This place makes some of the tastiest curry I've tried so far. I started eating here about 4 years ago and I still love it, even if I have to walk across the city to get there. Currently, I'm in love with their Home-Style Baingan. The mix of aubergines with onion and tomato goes perfectly with their Peshwari Naan. It's a bit spicy, but not too much. Also, make sure you get some samosas as an appetiser. To the gentleman who complained a day ago that a staff member was rude with him: Mate, if you know how to write a Google review, surely you also know how to place an order online. Their web site works perfectly, so use it and stop wasting their time on the phone if you can't talk from a quiet place. These people put their lives at risk to come each day to work so they can provide food for us and they've done a stellar job, so cut them some slack.

Good indian food

Kerala kitchen delivered a fantastic meal to us. So delicious ? I have to recommend!

Consistent great quality of food at reasonable prices, excellent for groups, not that great for dates

(Translated by Google) Very atmospheric place, although it is not very big, I plan a very nice climate here, very nice service (they work with a smile) and very tasty food, even if you know some Indian food and it is not on the card, it is worth asking because it is possible the chef is able to do this to you, I recommend this place ??

My friends and I go here quite regularly. Good South Indian food which I like. Very friendly staff and service.

Great food and very friendly staff.

Really good indian food and fair prices

best south indian restaurant in dublin

Delicious indian food, very good value!

Not really Kerala food and even the chefs are bot keralites. The food is ok but no way it's kerala style. The name and publicity is misleading.

Delish. The signature kerela curry and onion bhajis are my go to. Naan is lovely too

I think Kerala is the best Indian restaurant in Dublin. I have tried Chicken biryani, lamb biryani, lamb shish kebab, and Tikka Masala chicken. Everything was perfect! Thanks for that quality

Visited this place in August 2019. Very humble and good staff. The ambience can be improved a bit but overall the food was very fresh. and taste was excellent. A very true authentic Indian food.

Fantastic food

Enjoyed the ANDHRA CHICKEN with rice and poppadums, and a side order of masala kissed fries in a casual setting. Food served in compostable takeaway containers, but pleasant seating areas available to use on premise. Total cost 15.50euro and well worth it, as it was filling and delicious. Service was good too.

Amazing Indian restaurant

Delicious . Thats really all you need to know

Good food, fast service. Reasonable prices

Very nice service

Casual dining beautiful food
